Yep, I played this 20 years ago. Aside from Super Mario Bros. and Kid Icarus it was the only game I liked on the NES. I played Metroid again in 2002 on my PC thanks to an emulator, and I still loved it. It's the only game about which I can say that. It's as though there's another world in there, and reality is forgotten, that, despite what today one might call poor graphics. Me, I'm attracted to today's games' visual realism, but it takes much much more than that to create an atmosphere into which one integrates itself. I'd even say that the visual realism is just icing, since if Metroid had atmosphere, it obviously had nothing to do with picture-perfect graphics. Dots, lots of colorful dots, yet I was down in those caves, and they were spooky.
